It Isn’t Rocket Science

On Saturdays, if it’s cloudy, rainy, or cold, anything that isn’t great for pop sales, my wife knows I might be a bit sensitive.

But sometimes the opposite is true.

Last week I was giddy looking at the forecast. Shaky Knees, one of our best events of the year, was coming up and the weather looked like a dream.

I had some worries, though. Our tenured cart manager had moved on a couple months ago, and the new guy, Greg, had only just started. He was doing great, drinking from the fire hose (our standard training method), but he was still new.

He made a plan, we discussed it, and then he was off with a box truck, two pallets of pops, 10 carts, dry ice, lights, chalkboards, and of course, the rainbow umbrellas.
